Quote from Ben Swann (@BenSwann_):
The IDF just got caught trying to rewrite history in real time, claiming their troops “replaced” the crucifix in Debel, southern Lebanon, after one of their own smashed it with a sledgehammer.
After the initial incident went viral, the IDF posted a photo of a tiny stand-in nailed to a tree as proof of their “deep regret.”
Reality Check: The local Christian community refused the Israeli prop. It was Italian UNIFIL peacekeepers who delivered and installed the actual new crucifix within 48 hours, with the Papal Nuncio personally blessing it on site.
Israeli damage-control: Destroy the symbol, lie about fixing it, and let someone else clean up the mess.
